Time to invest like one.____________What if the search for your “one true purpose” is actually making you miserable and the real path to a regret-free life is simpler than you think?In this insightful conversation, Dr. Bradley Block reconnects with returning guest Dr. Jordan Grumet to explore the ideas in his new book, The Purpose Code. Building on his first book Taking Stock, Jordan tackles the question he's asked most: “How do I actually find purpose?” He breaks down why we get purpose wrong, introduces Big P vs. little p purpose, and shares why focusing on process over outcome creates abundance, community, and lasting happiness. From hospice stories to personal examples like podcasting and baseball cards, Jordan shows physicians how to build purpose around what truly fills them up, without needing to quit medicine or chase scarcity-driven goals.If you've ever felt purpose anxiety or wondered whether being a doctor is “enough,” this episode offers a practical, liberating framework to live intentionally and regret-free.Three Actionable Takeaways:Distinguish Big P from little p purpose: Stop chasing scarce, audacious goals (e.g., curing cancer, becoming a billionaire) that breed anxiety and failure. Instead, identify activities where you love the process itself regardless of outcome or pay. Ask: “Would I do this even if no one paid me or noticed?” These abundant little p purposes bring joy, flow, and surprisingly greater impact.Build purpose now, not after financial milestones: Don't wait for financial independence to pursue what lights you up. Use the 5–6 hours of daily free time most people have to fill time slots with purposeful activities. At work, maximize what you enjoy (addition), minimize what you loathe (subtraction), or switch roles or employers to increase joy without blowing up your finances.Pair purpose with meaning for true happiness: Purpose (present/future actions that fill you up) needs meaning, a heroic narrative of your past, to thrive. Reframe past struggles as a hero's journey “I am enough” to quiet victim stories that sabotage new purposeful pursuits. Strong relationships and community naturally flow from living your little p purpose, which research shows is the biggest predictor of health and longevity.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

In this insightful episode, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming interviews Jonathan Spitz from Lightstone Direct, the new direct-to-investor arm of 40-year-old powerhouse Lightstone Group. Jonathan shares the firm's vertically integrated model (25K apartments, 12M sq ft industrial, 5K hotel keys), why they commit 20% of their own capital first (5-10x industry norms), and how physicians can diversify beyond stocks or DIY rentals. He breaks down direct vs. passive CRE, asset class pitfalls (office flops vs. industrial wins), and red flags like inexperienced managers or 85% debt. With examples like their Greenville industrial deal, Jonathan proves alignment and conviction drive better outcomes empowering busy doctors to build legacy wealth safely. If you're a high-income physician eyeing real estate for tax efficiency and passive income, this is your guide to investing like institutions without the headaches. Three Actionable Takeaways: Decide direct vs. passive: If time-strapped, skip hands-on rentals for platforms like Lightstone Direct, vet managers on track record, cycles navigated, and skin in game (aim for 20%+). Passive reduces risks like tenant concentration; focus on assets like industrial for steady returns over volatile office or retail. Qualify and evaluate: As accredited (200K/300K income or 1M net worth), request decks/PPMs/operating agreements. Ask: Debt levels? Exit strategies? Risk mitigation? Compare projected IRRs realistically—avoid 20%+ promises tied to high leverage. Prioritize alignment where sponsors invest heavily first for shared incentives.

Time to invest like one.—-----------------------------What if planning wasn't about rigid to-do lists… but about carving out time for surfing with your kids, date nights, and saying “no” to overwhelm?In this practical episode, Dr. Bradley Block sits with Dr. Sarah Hart-Unger to explore her simple system for goal-setting and life management. Sarah reveals how she evolved from a time-strapped resident to a mom of three who balances medicine, podcasts, and adventure. Dive into yearly visioning (e.g., “What do I really want?”), quarterly goals, monthly calendars, and daily rituals that prevent fires from derailing your dreams. She shares pitfalls like neglecting partner time, the power of friend spreadsheets, and why spontaneity thrives on structure. Drawing from her book, “Best Laid Plans“ and courses, Sarah proves planning is the “knife-sharpening” for a delicious life—efficient, fun, and regret-free.If your to-do list runs you instead of the other way around, this is your blueprint to reclaim balance and build memories that matter.Three Actionable Takeaways:Start with yearly visioning: Dedicate hours annually to brainstorm big dreams (e.g., surfing with kids). List audacious goals, then revisit seasonally. Break into quarterly milestones like booking a trip, to keep them alive. This ensures daily life aligns with what excites you, turning “someday” into reality without overwhelm.Master task management: Use a “brain dump” to capture everything, then categorize into urgent vs. important. Schedule non-negotiables first (e.g., dates, friends), block deep work, and review weekly. Embrace tools like digital calendars or spreadsheets to track progress, preventing fires while creating space for spontaneity and joy.Evaluate opportunities thoughtfully: Before saying yes, scan your calendar for fit. Consider energy, family, and fun. Phases matter: Early career? Take more risks. With kids? Be selective. Prioritize relationships (e.g., friend tiers, date nights) to avoid regrets. Planning sharpens life like a chef's knife—efficient and delicious.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

From salary negotiations and admin battles to convincing patients to get the CT, these FBI-level tactics will immediately make you more money, save you time, and reduce daily frustration. Doctors are brilliant clinicians but notoriously terrible negotiators. We say "yes" to terrible contracts, extra shifts without extra pay, and patients who refuse life-saving care all because no one ever taught us how to negotiate like our life or livelihood depends on it. In this rapid-fire Book Club episode, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming distills the core lessons from Chris Voss's bestseller Never Split the Difference and shows exactly how to apply them in real medical life: getting the raise you deserve, pushing back on unpaid admin duties, reading the room with anxious patients, and never again leaving money or sanity on the table. If you only read one negotiation book in your career, make it this one. Three Actionable Takeaways: Never make the first offer: Force the other side to name their number first (salary, rate, raise). Respond with "What do you think would be fair?" or "I'm open to any offer you feel is appropriate." Their silence works for you they'll often low-ball themselves or surprise you with more than you expected. Use tactical empathy and labeling: Start every tough conversation with "It sounds like…" or "It seems like you're frustrated that…" You're not agreeing, just naming the emotion. This instantly calms patients, admins, or partners, builds trust, and makes them far more open to your actual request or plan. Turn "No" into your ally: When they say "No" to your raise, extra pay, or patient's refusal of care, respond with "What would need to happen for us to revisit this?" or "How could we make this work?" A "No" protects them; calibrated questions turn it into the real negotiation.

In this essential episode for physician leaders, host Dr. Bradley Block welcomes back Dr. John Schneider, as they explore starting productive conversations with those who don't want to hear it: from remediation for below-standard behavior to subtle issues. Dr. Schneider stresses asking questions from their perspective, building psychological safety, and inviting participation to open doors for change, not pushing through them. He warns against "hammer" approaches like HR escalation unless minimum competencies fail, and shares the "challenge plus support" quadrant: challenge without support leads to retreat; support without challenge stalls growth. Drawing from his roles as Assistant Dean for Faculty Coaching and private practice coach, he emphasizes leading with belief in people, connecting to their original "calling" in medicine, and accepting that not everyone will walk through the door. If you're in leadership facing resistance. This episode offers nuanced, practical strategies to foster trust, inspire evolution, and avoid burnout for you and your team.Three Actionable Takeaways:Start with Their Perspective, Not Yours: When addressing resistance, ask questions that uncover what they need, not what you think they need. Avoid starting from remediation or "hammer" tactics; build psychological safety by showing you believe in them, inviting participation to make change feel meaningful and voluntary.Balance Challenge and Support for Growth: Use the quadrants: Challenge without support causes retreat; support without challenge leads to stagnation. As a leader, consciously provide both, holding accountable while being "with them" to open doors for self-reflection and behavior shifts, even if they don't always step through.Reconnect to Their Original Calling: Remind resistant colleagues of why they chose medicine, the inspiration that's often buried under policies and metrics. Frame changes as ways to rediscover that purpose, making evolution feel like a personal win, not an imposed fix; not everyone changes, but this invites possibility.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

In this powerful episode of Bootstrap MD, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming tackles the question almost every burned-out physician has asked in silence: "What if I leave patient care… for good?" With physician burnout at an all-time high and more doctors quietly exploring nonclinical exits than ever before, Mike delivers the real-talk conversation you won't hear in the doctors' lounge. He walks through the emotional rollercoaster; grief, fear, guilt, and the full-blown identity crisis, then flips the script: your MD isn't a life sentence to the exam room. It's a superpower you can take anywhere. From pharma and biotech roles to CMO tracks, education and content empires, and full-blown entrepreneurship, Mike maps the proven nonclinical paths and shares exactly how to test the waters without blowing up your life or your license. If you're burned out, questioning your identity, or wondering what's on the other side of clinical medicine, this episode is your permission slip to explore what's next—without guilt, without shame, and with a real plan. Three Actionable Takeaways: Journal the truth today: Answer these three questions honestly (1) If I weren't a doctor, what would my ideal workday look like? (2) What parts of medicine do I genuinely love vs. dread? (3) What am I most afraid people will think if I step away? Clarity starts on paper. Talk to people ahead of you: Talk to 2 or 3 physicians who have already left patient care and are genuinely thriving, not just complaining;. Ask about their emotional journey, money realities, and the one thing they wish they knew sooner. Come meet dozens of them at DrPodFest.com this January. Calculate your exact financial runway this weekend; how many months of expenses do you have saved? Knowing your real number turns "What if I fail?" into "I have X months to experiment." Then start one tiny nonclinical side project (chart review, an article, a paid consult) to gather evidence there's life beyond the bedside.

In this eye-opening episode, host Dr Bradley Block chats with Doug Noll, as he explains "affect labeling": simply reflecting emotions ("You're frustrated, worried, scared") to downshift the brain's limbic system and reactivate executive function. Backed by UCLA studies, this tool builds instant trust, makes visits efficient, and works on anyone, from ER patients to grocery clerks. Learn the 3-step process: ignore words for 90 seconds, read emotions innately, and reflect without "I understand." Doug shares role-plays, practice tips like labeling TV ads or silent shows, and why this flips arguments by meeting the universal need to be heard. Perfect for physicians facing high-stakes emotions, this episode equips you to listen people "into existence" for calmer, more connected care.Three Actionable Takeaways:Master Affect Labeling Basics: Ignore words for 90 seconds, read emotions instinctively (we're hardwired for it), and reflect with "You" statements like "You're frustrated, scared, confused." This downshifts the limbic system, calms patients fast, and builds trust by showing deep understanding without saying "I get it."Practice Everywhere for Real-World Skill: Label emotions in ads, silent TV scenes, or checkout chats to hone listening without words. Start with strangers ("You're excited your shift's ending?") to see shoulders drop and rapport build, proving it works beyond medicine, even in prisons or arguments.Flip Tension into Connection: In visits, label all fears upfront (pain, failure as parents) to deregulate emotions, then hype positively ("You're loving, doing everything right"). This meets the unmet need to be heard, ends escalations, and makes encounters efficient, enjoyable, and loyalty-building.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

Recorded just before Thanksgiving 2025, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming urges physicians to ditch January goal-setting chaos and start now for a powerhouse 2026. Drawing from his experience building multiple seven-figure businesses, he explains why early planning reduces pressure, leverages seasonal lulls, and builds unstoppable momentum. Review 2025 like a patient chart: symptoms (what drained you?), labs (numbers and ROI), diagnosis (patterns to fix), prognosis (where you're headed if nothing changes). Define 2-3 vital outcomes: specific, measurable, emotionally charged. Use the next six weeks for a jumpstart: fix bottlenecks, map content, or validate offers. Subtract energy-drainers like low-margin services or endless courses. Build a support system: accountability partners, mentors, or masterminds. End with a "simple wins" plan—3-5 consistent actions for January. Whether scaling a business or starting one, this episode delivers actionable steps to treat your career like "You Inc."

How do you rise in academic medicine without losing your sense of purpose?Dr. Bradley Block joins Dr. Joseph Losee for a powerful conversation about the real path to academic advancement. Drawing from over two decades as a department chair, program director, and mentor, Dr. Losee reveals how saying “yes” shaped his journey from young faculty member to national leader—and why the same word must be used intentionally at different seasons of life.The discussion explores the balance between sacrifice and wellbeing, the shifting culture of academic medicine, and how meaning and mentorship sustain long-term fulfillment. Dr. Losee also shares insights on conflict resolution, leadership development, and his latest venture, Clarity Med Solutions, where he pioneers early dispute mediation to restore trust and healing between physicians, patients, and health systems.This episode is a roadmap for physicians seeking impact, growth, and balance—without losing sight of what truly matters.Three Actionable Takeaways:Say Yes With Intention: Early in your career, saying yes opens doors, builds credibility, and creates opportunities. But as your life evolves, align your yeses with your passions—and protect your energy for what truly matters.Sacrifice is the Path to Leadership: Every leader pays a price for impact. True advancement in academic medicine requires time, service, and persistence—but when rooted in purpose, those sacrifices yield meaning and legacy.Relationships Are the Real Reward: From mentoring residents to mediating patient disputes, relationships—not titles—define success. Meaning in medicine comes from connection, compassion, and helping others thrive.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

Bad location, useless equipment, $5,000 Valpak disasters, and exactly one patient looking for free advice until one desperate phone call to a mentor turned everything around. From avoiding the crushing "stupid tax" and compressing years into months, to getting ruthless accountability, emotional support through the lows, real-world playbooks no CME ever teaches, instant network expansion, burnout prevention, borrowed confidence, and staying ethical while scaling — Mike proves mentorship isn't optional for physician entrepreneurs. It's the difference between surviving and thriving. If you've ever thought "I'm a doctor I should be able to figure this out alone," this episode is your wake-up call. Three Actionable Takeaways: Stop paying the "stupid tax" on your own: Find a mentor who has already lost the money and time on the exact mistakes you're about to make — wrong EMRs, useless marketing agencies, bad locations and shortcut years of expensive trial-and-error in a single conversation. Make a list today of three physicians who are 2–5 years ahead of where you want to be: Reach out and book a paid 60-minute consultation, never ask for free advice. Respect their time, get laser-focused answers, and start implementing immediately. Audit your business honestly: if you got hit by a bus tomorrow, would it survive without you? Build systems, hire replaceable team members, cut clinical hours, and create a practice that serves your life instead of chaining you to it — that's the real freedom entrepreneurship promises.

Dr. Richard Boyatzis, joins Dr. Bradley Block to unpack why even accomplished physicians often lose their sense of meaning mid-career. Drawing from his Intentional Change Theory, Dr. Boyatzis explains that fulfillment dips every 7–10 years as part of our natural life cycle — what he calls liminality, the space between “what was” and “what's next.” The fix isn't distraction (real estate, side gigs, or skydiving), but rediscovering your vision — your “ideal self” — and aligning daily work with your true values.He warns against the trap of coaching for compliance — trying to fix patients (or yourself) through fear and goals. Instead, focus on coaching with compassion — inspiring sustained change through purpose, gratitude, and hope. Physicians, he says, thrive when they reconnect to why they entered medicine: to help, heal, and matter. Through personal stories, neuroscience, and humor, Dr. Boyatzis offers a practical roadmap for reigniting passion without abandoning your profession — whether that means teaching, mentoring, volunteering, or simply reframing success through renewed purpose.Three Actionable Takeaways:Revisit Your Vision Every 7–10 Years: Midlife restlessness isn't failure — it's biology. Reflect on your ideal self by asking, “If my life were fantastic 10–15 years from now, what would it look like?” Write it down, talk it out, and use it to guide new choices in work and life.Coach (and Care) with Compassion, Not Compliance: Patients — and physicians — change through hope, not fear. Replace “If you don't…” warnings with vision-driven goals (“What do you want to live for?”). Shared purpose boosts motivation, treatment adherence, and well-being.Recharge with Purposeful Connection: Gratitude and positive storytelling aren't fluff — they activate the parasympathetic system and restore energy. Start meetings or days with one uplifting story, or jot three things you're grateful for. It rewires stress into meaning. About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!Dr. Richard Boyatzis is a Distinguished University Professor at Case Western Reserve University and one of the world's most cited scholars on emotional intelligence, leadership, and behavior change.

From investing thousands of dollars to join these rooms to building lifelong connections, Mike explains why masterminds are one of the best professional investments he's ever made. He walks listeners through the traits that set successful entrepreneurs apart: they execute fast, think big, rebound from setbacks, manage their finances with precision, and network intentionally. Through personal stories and real-world examples, Mike shows how these same principles can help healthcare entrepreneurs expand their vision, accelerate growth, and avoid costly mistakes. If you've ever wondered whether joining a mastermind is worth it, this episode offers clear, actionable insight into how to make it work for you. Three Actionable Takeaways: Speed Wins — Execute Fast and Refine Later: In the world of high-performing entrepreneurs, perfectionism is the enemy of progress. The most successful mastermind members Dr. Mike met don't wait for every variable to align — they take action, test quickly, and adjust based on results. Think Bigger — Start with a Niche, Then Scale Beyond It : The entrepreneurs dominating their industries didn't stay confined to narrow niches — they used them as launching pads. Many began by focusing on a small, well-defined audience (like women physicians or local clients), but once they gained traction, they expanded strategically into broader, more lucrative markets. Know Your Numbers — Financial Awareness Builds Freedom: Entrepreneurship without financial literacy is like driving blindfolded. The most successful business owners Dr. Mike has encountered track their profit and loss daily, scrutinize expenses, and question every dollar spent. They don't delegate financial awareness — they own it.

In this episode of BootstrapMD, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming demystifies the concept of marketing funnels and reveals how any doctor can build a simple, trust-based system to bring in patients organically. Whether you're running a cash-based practice, launching a telemedicine brand, or just starting out, Dr. Woo-Ming shares a step-by-step process that turns awareness into engagement—and engagement into conversion. He begins by redefining the "funnel" not as a piece of software, but as a relationship journey—a path that guides potential patients from discovery to booking. Using his signature mix of practical teaching and relatable analogies, Dr. Woo-Ming explains how building an organic funnel is simply about building trust before the sale. He listed seven-step framework for creating an organic funnel: Understand the Funnel Journey, Start with One Irresistible Offer, Create a Value Magnet (Not Just a Lead Magnet), Build the Trust Loop, Add a Clear Conversion Path, Promote Organically, Measure and Refine Through these seven steps, physicians learn how to stop chasing patients and start creating systems that attract and nurture them naturally. Dr. Woo-Ming emphasizes that effective funnels don't rely on complicated tech—they rely on empathy, clarity, and consistent follow-up. He wraps up by reminding listeners that they don't need a big budget, marketing degree, or social media fame to grow. What they truly need is a repeatable system that builds trust and invites action—one small step at a time. Whether you're a physician tired of depending on word-of-mouth referrals or a healthcare entrepreneur ready to scale your practice, this episode gives you the tools, mindset, and motivation to start attracting more patients organically today. Three Actionable Takeaways: Simplify Your Offer: Focus on One Clear Transformation:One of the biggest mistakes physicians make in marketing is trying to promote every service at once—weight loss, hormone therapy, aesthetics, telemedicine, and more. But as Dr. Woo-Ming explains, "a confused mind never buys." When your messaging is scattered, your patients don't know what to focus on—and they leave before taking action. Build Relationships Before Revenue: Trust Comes Before Transactions: Funnels aren't just about automation—they're about authentic connection. Patients today are looking for more than quick fixes; they want to know who you are, what you believe in, and whether they can trust you with their health. Track and Tweak Consistently: Measure What Matters: In marketing—and in medicine—what gets measured gets improved. Many physicians struggle with patient acquisition because they're guessing at what's working.

In this focused episode of Succeeded In Medicine Podcast, Dr. Ari Tuckman challenges the blind chase of “more done.” Drawing from his fifth book, The ADHD Productivity Manual, he explains why physicians must first ask: To what end am I being productive?The discussion unpacks the gap between being busy and being productive—especially in high-stakes medicine where reactivity rules. Dr. Tuckman introduces temporal discounting, the bias that makes immediate rewards (another patient, one more episode) feel far stronger than future costs (burnout, unfinished charts, missed family moments). He shares how to make future outcomes visceral: close your eyes and feel the drag of a sleep-deprived day versus the clarity of a rested one.Time is treated like money—finite, non-renewable, and requiring deliberate allocation. Priorities, Dr. Tuckman stresses, are revealed in actions, not words: if “health” or “family” never make the calendar, they aren't priorities. He advocates sacred time blocks, realistic scheduling that buffers emergencies, and ruthless to-do list decluttering (hesitate to justify? delete).On work-life balance, the financial tension of private practice surfaces: every hour off is lost revenue. Yet true wealth is the margin to take that time when it counts. Dr. Tuckman adds the hard truth: “Part of the cost of a good life is sometimes doing things you hate.” Minimize suffering—finish unpleasant tasks fast, without mental gnawing.From charting between patients to setting boundaries on complex cases, this episode equips physicians to stop surprise-ending their days and start designing them.Three Actionable Takeaways:Ask the “To What End?” Question Before Any Productivity Hack: Reactivity breeds burnout. Pause and define: What do I want my life to look like? List 3–5 core values (e.g., patient impact, family presence, personal health). For each time or financial decision, ask: Does this align or erode my priorities? Review weekly in 5 minutes to stay intentional.Combat Temporal Discounting with Vivid Future-Feelings: Procrastination wins because future pain feels abstract. Before the immediate reward (skipping notes, doom-scrolling), close your eyes for 30 seconds and feel tomorrow-you: dragging, behind, irritable—versus rested, caught-up, present. Make the future visceral to choose action.Declutter Your To-Do List Ruthlessly and Fast: Overloaded lists paralyze. Set a 10-minute timer weekly. For each item, decide in

You're not alone—medical training often falls short.In this solo episode of Succeed in Medicine, Dr. Bradley Block shares how to distinguish between colds, bacterial sinusitis, allergies, and sinus migraines. With insights from years of clinical experience, on sinusitis as a secondary bacterial infection following viruses, not allergies or blockages. He covers "second sickness" patterns, why 10-day watchful waiting beats early antibiotics, migraine misdiagnoses, and treatments like nasal steroids for allergies versus surgery for fungal balls. Debunking myths like balloon sinuplasty for migraines. This episode equips physicians with practical tools to avoid overtreatment and improve patient outcomes, learn why facial pressure often points to migraines, when antibiotics are truly needed, and how to spot the “second sickness” pattern of sinus infections. Packed with practical tips and myth-busting, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating sinus issues or curious about ENT care.Three Actionable Takeaway:Sinusitis Starts with a Virus: Dr. Block explains bacterial sinusitis as a secondary infection after a cold disrupts sinus mucosa—watch for "second sickness" where symptoms worsen after initial improvement. Hold antibiotics for at least 10 days unless complications like orbital cellulitis arise.Facial Pressure Isn't Always Sinus: Often misdiagnosed as sinusitis, facial pressure (especially weather-related) signals migraines—Dr. Block advises checking for tenderness over sinuses and avoiding unnecessary CT scans or surgery like balloon sinuplasty, which treats mucosa issues poorly.Allergies vs. Sinusitis: Separate Issues: Allergies swell nasal mucosa but don't cause sinus infections due to insufficient allergen entry—treat with nasal steroids or immunotherapy. Fungal balls require surgery, not meds, as they're not true infections. About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Avonley Lightstone, author of Strength of Scars, about rebuilding identity after early childhood trauma, adoption, and years of abuse. Avonley explains how faith, honest forgiveness, and telling the truth (without glamorizing pain) helped her move past suicidal ideation, break family patterns, and turn scars into service. This direct, no-fluff conversation covers resilience, survivor guilt, spiritual grounding, boundaries with harmful family dynamics, and why sharing your story matters. About the guest : Avonley Lightstone is a writer and speaker whose memoir Strength of Scars chronicles the journey from childhood tragedy and abusive adoption to healing through faith and radical honesty. She shares practical tools for survivors and is developing a series that distills lessons on recovery and resilience. Key takeaways: Early trauma can fracture identity; naming the truth without dramatizing it is the first step toward integration and healing. Faith as practice, not bypass: prayer, hope, and meaning-making helped Avonley move through pain rather than avoid it. Forgiveness ≠ access: you can forgive while keeping firm boundaries with people who refuse accountability. Rewrite the narrative: scars (seen or unseen) mark survival, not identity; your story can serve others when told responsibly. From ideation to action steps: replacing harmful thought loops with connection (prayer/journaling), professional help, and community resources breaks cycles. Adoption nuance: gratitude doesn't erase harm; calling out abusive dynamics (scapegoating, favoritism, narcissistic control) is part of recovery. Break generational patterns: consciously parent yourself (and your children) with new scripts—safety, honesty, regulation, and support. Share with care: write privately first (journals/letters) to process; publish later to help others once you have support and stability. Micro-habits of resilience: daily reflection, nature time, and service to others compound into long-term strength. Spiritual lens: faith reframed scars as testimony—grounding, direction, and responsibility to lift others.

With Ryze Health, practice management becomes effortless. Our all-in-one platform streamlines scheduling, patient communications, and insurance verification, giving you fewer no-shows, faster check-ins, and happier patients. Free yourself from paperwork and phone tag so you can focus on what truly matters: providing care. Visit http://ryzehealth.com/BootstrapMD today and see how simple running your practice can be. ______________ That quiet voice asking, "What if I walked away from patient care forever?" isn't weakness, it's clarity. In this powerful episode of Bootstrap MD, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming tackles the question almost every burned-out physician has asked in silence: "What if I leave patient care… for good?" With physician burnout at an all-time high and more doctors quietly exploring nonclinical exits than ever before, Mike delivers the real-talk conversation you won't hear in the doctors' lounge. He walks through the emotional rollercoaster; grief, fear, guilt, and the full-blown identity crisis, then flips the script: your MD isn't a life sentence to the exam room. It's a superpower you can take anywhere. From pharma and biotech roles to CMO tracks, education and content empires, and full-blown entrepreneurship, Mike maps the proven nonclinical paths and shares exactly how to test the waters without blowing up your life or your license. If you're burned out, questioning your identity, or wondering what's on the other side of clinical medicine, this episode is your permission slip to explore what's next—without guilt, without shame, and with a real plan. Three Actionable Takeaways: Journal the truth today: Answer these three questions honestly (1) If I weren't a doctor, what would my ideal workday look like? (2) What parts of medicine do I genuinely love vs. dread? (3) What am I most afraid people will think if I step away? Clarity starts on paper. Talk to people ahead of you: Talk to 2 or 3 physicians who have already left patient care and are genuinely thriving, not just complaining;. Ask about their emotional journey, money realities, and the one thing they wish they knew sooner. Come meet dozens of them at DrPodFest.com this January. Calculate your exact financial runway this weekend; how many months of expenses do you have saved? Knowing your real number turns "What if I fail?" into "I have X months to experiment." Then start one tiny nonclinical side project (chart review, an article, a paid consult) to gather evidence there's life beyond the bedside.

Hosted by Dr. Mike Woo-Ming, a successful physician, entrepreneur, and investor, the show delivers actionable insights on starting businesses, creating passive income, and navigating healthcare entrepreneurship.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear this week that America's alliance with Israel doesn't only matter in the Middle East. Standing up for Israel is also vital for our own national security.But at the core of Israel's struggle with Hamas and our common confrontation with Iran is the defense of Western Civilization. That's what's at stake if Israel is abandoned or defeated. And the painful reverberations would be felt here too.Western Civilization is responsible for the greatest flourishing of religious, personal, political, and economic freedom the world has ever known. And our common enemies are determined to undermine and destroy it.Today, Sara welcomes Rabbi Aryeh Lightstone, who was senior adviser to former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman. Together they played critical roles in developing the Abraham Accords, the most significant step towards Middle East peace in more than a generation.Lightstone tells Sara that Western Civilization does hang in the balance if America fails to stand with our best friends in the Middle East. He also explains why Netanyahu's speech to Congress this week was so vital and how he stands in stark contrast to would-be terrorist appeasers like President Biden and Vice President Harris.Lightstone further believes that with the right leadership, the members of the Abraham Accords are ready to stand up to Iran and work for peace in the region.Will America stand with Israel? Will our Western Christian values be preserved? And how important will the U.S. presidential election be in determining how those questions are answered?Don't miss this powerful conversation.Thank you for being a part of the Sara Carter Show.Please visit our great sponsors:Goldcohttp://saralikesgold.comVisit today to see how you can qualify for a free 1oz Silver Ronald Reagan coin and get up to 10% instant match in free bonus sliver with a qualified account.

In this festive episode... Mike finds his new drag name, Dan talks about his potty mouth daughter, while Paul describes kids as 'Crunchy' and Cheer drops a phat beat. On a snowy Christmas Eve, the wealthy Lightstone family gathers in their opulent mansion, unaware of the danger lurking outside. A team of ruthless mercenaries, led by the cold-blooded Mr. Scrooge, infiltrate the estate, taking the family hostage in a desperate heist for a hidden fortune. But their carefully laid plans soon go awry when they cross paths with an unexpected guest: Santa Claus. This isn't the jolly Saint Nick you remember from childhood stories. This Santa is battle-hardened, jaded from centuries of delivering to a world increasingly devoid of belief. Yet, something about young Trudy Lightstone, a cynical girl who has lost her Christmas spirit, reignites a spark of hope within him. Armed with his magic bag of tricks and fuelled by eggnog and fury, Santa Claus launches a one-man war against the mercenaries, turning the mansion into a hilariously violent North Pole wonderland. Through a brutal ballet of chimney descents, reindeer stampedes, and exploding gingerbread houses, Santa rediscovers the true meaning of Christmas and proves that even the darkest hearts can find redemption under the twinkle of Christmas lights.

"Immediately after these demons go for Israel, they'll go for the U.S. And the U.S. has a welcome mat on the southern border saying, 'Come, get us.'" Those words from Rabbi Aryeh Lightstone ought to sober us up very quickly as to how the radical Islamist threat to Israel directly impacts us here at home. And as Sara has reported for more than two years now, our enemies are undoubtedly exploiting President Biden's open borders to do us harm.Today, Rabbi Lightstone, who was a critical partner in the creation of the Abraham Accords, joins Sara to explain the existential issues at stake as Israel seeks to destroy Hamas and how the unholy alliance of Russia, Iran, and China risks drawing the U.S. and others into a global conflict. Joining Sara from Israel, Lightstone also shares what the past two weeks have been like, the stress his own family has been under, and the pain he's seeing in the families and friends of those butchered by Hamas.Please visit our great sponsors:After Deathhttps://angel.com/carterGet your tickets today for After Death opening October 27th.

If any other president had orchestrated a landmark security and economic agreement in the Middle East, it would be praised for generations. But since Donald Trump accomplished it, the media ignores it and the Biden administration recklessly pursues policies that have failed for decades.The Abraham Accords brought Israel together with Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, Sudan and Morocco joined shortly thereafter. The agreement opened up trade travel, and many other economic opportunities among the nations and established critical security measures as well.So how did this all happen?Today, Sara welcomes Rabbi Aryeh Lightstone, who served as senior adviser to U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman during these historic negotiations. Lightstone explains how significant the Abraham Accords are for the entire Middle East and America's own national security. And he reveals what will happen as Biden walks away form the deal and renews efforts to appease Iran.Please visit our great sponsors:Allegiance Goldhttps://protectwithsara.comClick or Call 877-702-7272 tell them Sara sent you and get $5,000 of free silver on a qualifying purchase.
